Default New Magazine Looking for Articles

The Overlord is a new magazine anticipating hitting the market in the near future. We're a current events/ social commentary magazine taking the world from a psuedo saterical prodictatorial angle. If this captures your imagination we are the place for you. We are looking for articles on current events, buisness, politics, or any special features which may help our dictatorial feel. Perhaps a survival article for the visionary in exhile, or something on conducting negotiations.

If you are feeling up to the challenge submit a sample article showcasing what you've got to offer to overlordpublishing@gmail.com. This is a great opportunity to get your work published and get in with an up and coming magazine.

Default Overlord indeed

Whenever I read the phrase 'great opportunity to get your work published' I know it means 'we want free content'.

Isn't it funny how writers can live off great opportunities and fresh air?

Cool Another great challenging opportunity...

...to work for nothing. The spelling errors in this promotion for an 'up and coming publication' do not inspire confidence, do they?!

Default Ha Ha!

Ah yes. An opportunity to write for a 'psuedo saterical prodictatorial'.

Whoever is starting this magazine is wasted and should be writing phishing emails to unsuspecting banking customers. The ones that start:

We are in tellng you to ckeck your bank account as or it will expire.

Default To Mr Overlord

I think you can take from the responses to your post that none of us are:

a) likely to take up the challenge to be part of your up and coming magazine

b) keen on working for free/a shit rate

c) stupid
